I've just come off of a 9 day bender. No, I don't have a drinking problem--I have a migraine problem. So it's been hard to do any smiling at all. As usual, at the point that I decide I must have brain cancer and will die soon, the migraine finally breaks.
This morning I took Max to the school bus stop. He was on fire. He had the kids (and eventually the parents couldn't help but giggle too) laughing at everything he said. It wasn't just songs like, "Dave likes to wear, dirty underwear" or talking about the Native American Princess "Kakapoopoohead." He climbed a small tree and feigned falling out with screams of "I broke my brain!"
Tonight he confessed to me before going to bed that he was worried about a boy named Sean from school. Apparently, Sean is pretty funny. Max likes Sean very much but Sean has great lines like, "We now break for the Chicken Man" and uses words like "Jack Rabbit." I told Max, "Didn't you see those kids laughing at you this morning at the bus stop? Even the parents were laughing." He laughed and then said, "Yeah, but what if everyone laughs at Sean's bus stop and then they say, 'hey you're funnier than Max?"
So do me a favor, help me come up with some one liners for Max. We really need to keep Max feeling good--feeling like he's the number one comedy act in his school. (I'm sure his teacher appreciates our efforts too)
